Hey everyone! I hope you had a great start to 2025 :D

Necesse Version 0.30 is now live!

And alongside this update we've also launched the first ever Necesse Steam Free weekend!

So make sure you invite your friends to come play! If they enjoy Necesse and want to buy the game afterwards, then you’re in luck! Cause we’re also running a 35% discount on Necesse, right now here on Steam.

We've put together a small video to hype up the free weekend while also showcasing some of the changes coming in this update. Check it out below!

Now let's take a look at the update!
As I talked about in the last update, we've focused more on making the progression and exploration less repetitive. This time around we’ve added new hazards to the snow, swamp and desert caves. The Deep caves will receive a similar treatment in a future update.

In the spirit of the Free Weekend and co-op play, we’ve also added 4 new staves that specialize in buffing your allies. But if you prefer to play solo, you can also give them to your settlers. If you enjoy playing a supportive playstyle, then these staves are for you!

And other smaller changes, like a new critter when exploring the caves along with a new crop and some food. This will make it harder to run out of food while deep in the caves :)

Some of the other features in this update include:

• The Hoverboard now better handling and a dash ability!
• Several gravel tiles that couldn't be crafted before, are now craftable.
• More gems will now drop from the crystal mini biomes.

You can read the full changelog below.

As always, we will keep a close eye on issues and balancing and push out updates as needed :)

Enjoy the update everyone!
